Chocolate Box Retreat
6 guests
-
3 bedrooms, 4 beds
1 bathroom
Tucked away in beautiful Beadnell, yet within walking distance of several sandy beaches, this cosy cottage is the perfect hideaway after a day out exploring this wonderful stretch of the Northumberland Coast. The wood burner in the living room will be an instant hit in winter months, just perfect for snuggling down in front of, wrapped in a throw, as you enjoy a glass of red with your nearest and dearest and relive the day’s adventures. When you start to feel a little peckish, you can choose between a stroll to the local country pub or rustling up a home-cooked meal for an evening in. We love the farmhouse kitchen – with flagstone floors, a classic wooden bench and even some old-fashioned weighing scales, it’s utterly charming and will soon become the backdrop to many memorable evenings during your stay. If your four-legged friends have joined you on holiday, there are plenty of walking routes from the village itself to enjoy the local countryside and, of course, there are beaches if they just can’t wait to sink their paws into the sand. With your chocolate box cottage in such a picturesque location, this is a family stay that will remain with... you long after you’ve returned home.

About The Northumberland Coast
Right at the top of England, Northumberland’s great expanse is dotted with medieval strongholds that have seen many a bloody battle. A landscape rich with history, you can explore the crumbling ruins of clifftop castles or tour restored and retained masterpieces at Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle. Fishing villages punctuate the sweeps of undiscovered beaches along the coastline. Tangles of lobster pots sit on old stone harbours while boats trundle...
